The Ultimate Guide to the Item Printer in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet: The Indigo Disk

The Item Printer is one of the exciting new features in the Indigo Disk DLC for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. This 3D printer, designed by the Science Club at Blueberry Academy, allows players to create a wide range of items, from healing items and evolution items to Tera Shards and battle items. In this guide, we'll walk you through how to get the Item Printer, how to use it, and what you can create with it.

How to Get the Item Printer in Pokémon Indigo Disk

To unlock the Item Printer, you need to donate 200 BP to the Science Club via the computer in the Indigo Disk's League Club Room. Go to the Support Board and look for the Science Club's request for testers. Once you've donated the required amount, a representative from the club will appear with the Item Printer next to the computer. You can start using it right away.

How to Use the Item Printer in Pokémon Indigo Disk

The Item Printer uses BP and TM Materials to create new items. When you open the Item Printer menu, you'll see a list of your current TM Materials on the left side, each with a percentage value next to it. To create an item, you need to combine materials to reach 100%. Each percentage value represents the worth of an individual material. For example, one Diglett Dirt is worth 18%.

When you've reached 100% or more, you need to pay 5 BP for one print job. You can print multiple items at a time, but the BP requirement will increase accordingly. The maximum number of print jobs per session is 10.

Upgrading the Item Printer

As you use the Item Printer, you can upgrade it by completing specific requirements. Upgrading the printer will decrease the required BP cost for each item printed and add new bonus functions. Here's a breakdown of the requirements for each upgrade:

• Great Item Printer Upgrade: Print 25 items and donate 200 BP
• Ultra Item Printer Upgrade: Print 75 items and donate 500 BP (after completing the first upgrade)
• Master Item Printer Upgrade: Print 175 items and donate 1,000 BP (after completing the second upgrade)

2X Bonus and Poke Ball Bonus

When you upgrade the Item Printer to the Great or Ultra level, you'll have a small chance of activating the 2X Bonus or Poke Ball Bonus, respectively. The 2X Bonus gives you double item drops for your next print job, while the Poke Ball Bonus allows you to print a random selection of Poke Balls instead of items.

Here are the Poke Balls that can be printed using the Poke Ball Bonus and their drop chances:

• Master Ball: 0.75% print chance
• Safari Ball: 1.75% print chance
• ...
• Poke Ball: 15% print chance

TM Materials and Their Percentages

Each TM Material has its own percentage worth in the Item Printer menu. Here's a comprehensive list of TM Materials and their percentages:

5% TM Materials

• Gimmighoul Coin

9% TM Materials

• Corphish Shell
• Doduo Down
• ...

... (all the way up to 68% TM Materials)

Now you know everything you need to unlock and master the Item Printer in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet: The Indigo Disk.
